Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 275°F.

    Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft, opaque peaks form, about 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    You should see tracks from the whisk on the surface of the whites.

    Using the back of the spoon, make a small well in the center of each meringue.

    Using fine-mesh strainer, lightly dust with remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon.
